That's true, and as with any networking platform, whether that be a social media site or a messaging app, who you know and how many of them are on the platform is a strong determining factor in whether you join that platform or not. For now, I just have an account set up on both of those sites, just in case, but I'm not holding my breath for any of my close friends to join anytime soon.

I recently discovered Pixelfed and Friendica on the Fediverse. They are the equivalent to Instagram and Facebook, respectively. Perhaps now would be a good time to migrate over to those platforms?

I think I'm going to stick with my local hospital network and pharmacy. I'm doubtful that my health problems can be solved by a company with a very poor reputation on worker safety and wellness.

One thousand TikToks? How do you retain your sanity from watching that many?

A wise decision! Welcome, and I hope you continue to have fun with Linux! Linux Mint is a great starting distro. If you ever get around to installing VirtualBox, I recommend you also try Pop OS. I personally prefer that distro on laptops.

Perhaps you can tell me why you recommend GrapheneOS over Calyx.

Really?! Another anime turned into Live Action? What are they gonna do next? Bleach?

Why does it not work? And, is there an alternative?

I'm on Linux Mint, and I installed the default fonts used on Pop OS, which are Fira and Roboto Slab

Wow, this is quite tempting! Not only is the display going to be brighter and have better coloring, the refresh rate can go up to 90Hz (as indicated by the Tech Specs).

Yeah, I love that intro too, especially when Goliath starts narrating.

One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age of Gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and we live again! We are defenders of the night! We are Gargoyles!

I'm revisiting an old favorite of mine. It's the 90s Toon Disney show, Gargoyles.
